I wouldn't worry too much. Animals are opportunistic feeders/eaters and they are not sitting in their coop feeling nautious 'cause you shared your dinner with them and it happened to be 'one of their own'. They know nothing of the sort, so I wouldn't stay up feeling too bad. Sounds like a yummy dinner though!!

I have to admit that when they are underfoot and I am cooking chicken parts on the BBQ, it does give me pause. They will eat whatever they can find, including spilled dog food on occasion, which had meat in it. That being said, the meat leftovers still go to the dog. All veggie, fruits and grains go to the chickens - feeding chicken to chickens just gives me the willies.

i made this big huge pot of chinese food with chicken it in. it was a new recipe and it was awful! not that it tasted 'bad' but just not right.

anyway, it was wayyyyyyyyyy too much food to throw out...and i thought the teriyaki/soy sauce would not be good for the dogs so i gave it to my chickens. they devoured it. but i did feel a bit bad, like i was turning them into the donner party or something

Quote:In the future, I think I'd be careful about the salt in this type of food. Teriyaki and soy sauce are LOADED with salt, and if I'm not mistaken, chickens are subject to salt toxicosis just like my aviary birds are. Just a suggestion...
